We are staying at the Luxor. The Luxor is a casino/hotel that is shaped like a pyramid and is 30 stories tall.

Most hotels have a coffee maker in the room as a courtesy to its guests. The Luxor does not. They expect you to visit one of their 24 hour Star Bucks coffee shops and pay 3 something for a large cup of coffee. And, I suspect that this is the case on the Vegas strip.

OK. I am not wild about the price but drinking decaf does give me something to do while I am blogging. So, I swallowed my wallet and went for their large.

Apparently, my request for a large black decaf took them by surprise. They said, ” You want a black decaf?” I confirmed my request. They then replied, “You want decaf?” I said yes. They said “You want it Black?” And once again I said yes.

Finally, they handed me a cup and said, “you wanted a black decaf?” I said yes and took my cup to the check out.

I guess it is hard to get a plain cup of coffee at Star Bucks.
